Since MMO's never end like a traditional game, your end reward is personal satisfaction, and items. I'd like to see heavy focus on new item development, and for the gap to widen on who obtains what depending on event difficulty and time it takes to acquire.

Believe me i'm a casual player, and usually end up with middle of the road gear I just don't dedicate the time for that 5% absolute best. But it does need to be there otherwise the world is bland when everyone has the same, and looks the same.

Also I'd like to see structured / tiered content. I haven't played too much of other MMO's but in XI there was Sea / Sky / ZNM... i don't want a copy of those events in XIV, but things like THAT. You're rewarded with really great armor, and great challenges, and it takes a long time to obtain. I feel like that kind of endgame is missing in XIV right now.

I think the reason we don't see many content things is because caps will be raised thus making them useless. I don't believe 50 is the End-game for FFXIV.

You do have a point there. I disagree with the strategy in itself, but, again, this is just my opinion. Maybe smaller increases would be less "traumatic", then! I guess an increase to 55 now and 60 at 2.0, being more gradual, would be better

Go replay FFXI. You'll find out first hand that HNM like Nidhogg, to Abyssea HNM are all trigger pop. Meaning no timers, and no camping for hours.

FFXIV can borrow ideas from other MMO's, but they have to improve on it for the masses, and take only what works.

Allllllllll riiiiiiight ...


Just tryin to get my voice heard... i cant stay on any MMO these days for more than 3-4 months. I keep flocking back to FFXIV as my Defualt MMO. So just voicing my opinion... SE is doing better of listening to players.

Hell i need to quit MMO's But whatelse am i going to do after sex, homework and the box talkin to me lol

Sounds to me like you should be playing FFXI instead!

We are playing the sequel now that we have 1.21, did u noticed all the changes and similarities? why not use what worked in other games? but one thing i for sure i dont like remakes, use those elements but add something fresh in the mix, add more ranks and gear in companies that makes u wanna do those events, like hamlet defense might be a Campaign and Besieged at the same time and be massive this time, add assaults, cutscenes in battles random HNM in those kind of battles, assaults with several objectives so many parties can focus on completing separetely in order to win, add strategy in the mix.

I would like to see content that is not repetitive, like moogle fight the moogles spawn randomly and its not like u stand here, we stand there and then everything is killed easily, u need to be running around kiting, evading, etc. More like random objectives, random attack waves, random NM's, etc.

So in a few words content that is not boring after a month...

Considering Yoshida wants to make FFXIV feel more like a FF game, do you really think, unlike Tanaka, he would ignore the previous MMO based around Final Fantasy III?

The mere fact we have jobs and iconic gear for them now is kind of proof he's not afraid to pull from the series. FFXIV failed simply because it got pushed out early to pad a financial report.

I'm not arguing the fact that he won't pull from the series, I'm just saying the reason the game was crap at launch was because of Tanaka.

You only need to go look at the FF11 boards and see how unhappy they are with the changes since Tanaka took over.
